Thank you for your ongoing support!
Beloved Peaches (Allie)
Hello Maribel, Just a quick note to let you know our beloved Peaches passed away last Thursday Feb 24. She was with us for 13.5 wonderful years. While we are presently heart-broken, we have so many wonderful memories of her during the short time she was with us to get us through her passing. Thank you so much for letting her join us!

Maggie Moo (Sassy Britches) – Missed Terribly
I was the lucky one to adopt “sassy britches” from your organization 11 years ago. I should have known I was in for a wild time with this pup. I changed her name to Maggie Moo (see the resemblance in the photo) but always thought her original name captured her personality. To the people that were lucky enough to call her a buddy she was the sweetest dog who had a whole body tail wag that could practically knock you over. Some dogs have a smile and hers was one of the biggest. It would always brighten the day. She just wanted to be around us – whether it was a long hike or lazy afternoon. She will be missed terribly. Thanks to the organization that connected me to such a companion.
Dottie
Hi Andi, I hope you had very happy holidays! I thought you might be wondering about Dottie abs just wanted to let you know she has settled in so well. She’s gotten comfortable in the house/yard, and is so gentle with our kids and senior dog. We are so happy we found her! Sharing a few pictures of her cuddling and enjoying the snow!
Take care! Becca

Ash (Bejamin) – Will Be Missed Forever
On a beautiful sunny spring afternoon in 2008, I met Ash for the first time. He was so shy and quiet, and I fell in love with him immediately. I grew up with dogs, and had always wanted one since I had moved out on my own. My oldest daughter, Lily, was born Oct of 2007, and I wanted her to experience growing up with a dog. Together Ash and Lily grew, until my youngest daughter, Abigail, was born Feb of 2011. He was immediately just as protective of her, as he was Lily. He always stayed by their side, keeping an ever vigilant watch of them both. He was always there to play with them, or to cuddle on the couch. He was always there to lick their tears, or great them enthusiastically whenever they came home.

Trevor – Reaching Higher Than Ever
Dear AFH: We just had to share with our friends at AFH. Trevor (formerly “Baxter” adopted 2014 from AFH) earned a 2021 national ranking in obedience competition in the Companion Dog Sports Program (CDSP). He is ranked #12 in Open A class in the country! He is nearing 8 years of age and with patience and consistency early in his life, has overcome his reactivity and anxiety to become a wonderful dog and my best friend. He has gone farther than anyone could have dreamt and we are so proud of him. Thanks for letting us share our good news!
Yours, Diana Hong & Trevor
Ovie – Loyal for So Long
Dear AFH…. I am a big fan of your organization, and have adopted a couple dogs from you over the years…. Emily….cared for Ovie ….until he became ill with an aggressive form of bone cancer. We had to send him over the rainbow bridge on Dec. 23. My Vet was unable to come to him when the time came, so we called Peaceful Passage, who sent a wonderful vet to us and helped Ovie pass at home. He was 14 years old, and was a wonderful protector/pet/soother to Emily for all of those years. Ovie was dog aggressive, but got along with his pal Holtby (seeing a name pattern here?), and didn’t get along with a lot of people, but those of us he loved, he loved fiercely. He was a wonderful dog, and I am glad my daughter had him and his loyalty for so long. I am sure that when she is ready to look for a pal for Holtby ( a stray found along the side of I270), she will come to you guys first. Thank you for all that you do.
